Whistler Village Hotels

The 419 rooms at the Westin were updated to accommodate the masses that descended upon Whistler for the 2010 Winter Olympics: They're all large and well suited for families or groups, with kitchenettes, pull-out sofas, and fireplaces. Although not all rooms come with balconies, it's hard to find a bad…

This 121-room hotel has a premier location in the heart of Whistler Village, right next to the ski lifts. Rooms are homey and functional, if not luxurious, with light wood accents, space-saving Murphy beds, kitchenettes, and fireplaces. The lobby area is warm but not quite stylish, and is decorated with…

The highlight of this 287-room, four-pearl hotel is its location, right by the Whistler Golf Course in the heart of Whistler Village. The rooms are large and comfortable, with slightly bland but still perfectly pleasant decor: warm colors, light woods, and salmon-colored down duvets. The fitness center…

The decor of the 159-room Crystal Lodge & Suites, located in the heart of Whistler Village, is typical for the area, with cedar and stone accents and warm colors. Upper-middle-range rooms are clean and bright (some have fireplaces, most have balconies) with clean, but unexceptional, bathrooms. Suites…

The upper-middle-range, 81-room Summit Lodge and Spa has a casual ambiance. Its large, bright rooms aren't stylish, but they do come with kitchenettes, fireplaces, balconies, and free Wi-Fi. Dogs are very welcome here (and can stay for free), and there's a small spa on-site offering Javanese-style treatments…

This 41-room boutique is one of the smallest (and most intimate) hotels in the area, and has a central location in Whistler Village. The rooms are among Whistler's most stylish (if a little dark and narrow), with mod furniture, and cool touches such as photo prints on pine, and chrome antelope heads…

From the outside, the Aava Whistler Hotel looks like many other Whistler hotels -- Bavarian-style architecture, lots of exposed wood, and well-kept grounds with some greenery. On the inside, the 191 contemporary rooms come with quality linens, up-to-date technology, and stylish touches, but lack distinctive…

This 98-room mid-range hotel was formerly a Best Western. Although it lacks the charm or character of some other Whistler hotels, it offers its guests convenience in multiple forms: free in-room amenities such as Wi-Fi, coffee, and mini-fridges; a great location that's just a street over from Whistler…

This well-kept rental complex featuring three-bedroom homes is about a 12-minute walk from the center of Whistler Village. The homes are popular among families, who enjoy the large bedrooms, the modern kitchens, and the quiet, neighborhood feel. But remember that this is a rental, not a resort, so don't…
